Once again, Paradise in Chicago's Loop! Big props again to James for busting his ass to get this event to happen every month! Where do I start? This one was so packed with stuff I was trying to sort it all out on the 90 miles drive home at 1 am this morning.

Having just returned from Rapa Nui, James presented us all with a great little slide show on his I Book of his photos. We had the Barefoot Hawaiians performing hula numbers and rounding up the audience for lessons. And the Cocktail Preachers spreading the gospel of surf music through traditional instruments and the uke and steel guitar. And let's not forget the goodies for sale by Lake Tiki and DSK Designs!

A great time was had by all... how can you not when you compliment all this fun with $4 Zombies!?!?

We had some traveling TC Members from Columbus, OH with us last night too... forgive me for forgetting your names, it was a long and busy night!

At all costs, do not miss the December event headlined by The King, (no, not Elvis, silly!)
All sorts of fun again... Mele Kalikimaka at Trader Vic's!

Lake Surfer and his Chicago surfer friends Captain Jack and Craig at the Lake Tiki Table...

We've wanted to make it down from cheezehead land for one of these & King Kukulele's presence tipped the scales. I left Hulilau last year singing "Princess Pupule" for weeks - can's wait to see the King. Definitely worth burning a vacaton day for to make it down for this one!!!

& I'm hoping to find out from the King if there is a way to get a recording of "Princess Pupule", as I was bummed that it wasn't on his new CD.
